lyrics

Mighty alien armies ride
Come to invade our soil
Soon our steel to be tried
Thousands of Europe's elite
Riding towards the south
Soon our foe shall we meet

(bridge)
Heavy well-trained infantry
Shall clash with their cavalry
With discipline and battle skill
Our enemies' blood shall we spill

We secure the high ground
Now they must charge uphill
Soon the horns of battle sound
At last the invaders attack
And firm we stand our ground
Our lands they will not sack

(bridge)
The foe tries to break our ranks
They meet the swords of the Franks
Today to Europe shall belong
An epic triumph worthy of song

(chorus)
Strong we stand, like a wall
Like a sea that can't be moved
Swords do strike, fierce we fight
Our might in battle we have proved

"In the thick of battle the men of the North seemed like a sea that could not be moved. Firm they stood, close to one another, forming as it were a wall of ice; and with great blows of their swords, they struck down the Arabs"
(Chronicle of 754)

Their king We have slain
All enemies flee before us
By night they retreat in pain
Many fell in their flight
When the morning comes again
No enemies anywhere in sight

(bridge)
In bloody battle we did prevail
For Europe's sake we did not fail
Our hated foe we have driven away
For we are the hunters not prey

(chorus)
Strong we stood, like a wall
Sons of Europe united all
Swords did strike, fierce we fought
Their invasion brought to nought
